I spent more than 1 week in Phil's place for my massage course. The location is perfect as it is just 5 mins walk to Wat Pho and the massage school. The house is located in old town but has been very nicely renovated as you can see in the pictures. It is very clean and the room is spacious for 2 with a wardrobe and an independent toilet. Phil's Mom and their maid are always there to help and they are keeping the place very tidy and nice. And Phil himself was also there to reply my messages. There are a lot of places you could visit: The Grand Palace, Wat Pho, old Siam plaza, Khaosan Rd and there are a lot of good restaurants near Wat Pho. You can also walk to the big flower market to buy fruits. The place is a little far from the BTS stations but Tuktuk takes you everywhere and if you are not in a hurry you could try taking the bus to Siam, Chit lom etc. (No. 2 or 48 etc.) I really had a great time in Phil's place and I would strongly recommend this place if you visit Bangkok, especially if you want to take the massage class near Wat Pho~
